This National Science Foundation award of $276,000 provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The fellowship supports research and training to increase participation in biology from underrepresented groups.

Specifically, the fellow will study extremophile brine flies to understand their genetic adaptations to survive in extreme aquatic habitats. They will characterize the evolutionary history and genome sequences of 34 brine fly species, determining thresholds for tolerance to water chemistries. The fellow will also recruit and fund undergraduate mentees, particularly from minority-serving programs, to help with the research and build community in biological fields. This work aims to lay the groundwork for future studies across multiple disciplines involving brine fly adaptation to extreme environments.
